On arrival of the mechanic at your car

Once the technician is at your location and has access to your vehicle, his first task is to confirm whether the problem of your vehicle is caused by incorrect fuel or not. If it is not, he won’t render any service linked to the wrong fuel in the car, and in that situation, you won’t be charged the quoted fee but an updated amount.

The above signs are usually an indication of incorrect fuel in a car and if we discover that yours is the same issue, we will fix it instantly since our mechanics bring the necessary equipment and fresh fuel with them. You should hire us because of these three reasons. The first reason is that we've got the abilities to empty out the wrong fuel and replace it with the right fuel. One other reason is our prices for the fuel replacement is the same as the current price in your nearby gas station. The last reason is the means of payment. We allow other kinds of payment like credit or debit cards if in case you don't have cash with you.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

Contamination of fuel by water is another issue which can make your vehicle function badly. Symptoms stated above for an engine with the wrong fuel can also be observed if the fuel system has water in it. This includes low power, lots of smoke coming out of the exhaust, irregularities on how the vehicle runs and even failing to run at all. In cases of wrong fuel, the fuel filter won't be damaged. But with water contamination, it should be replaced.

You can also observe the same symptoms if AdBlue is added int the diesel tank. AdBlue is a cleaner that helps the engine of your car to be more eco-friendly. However, if this is added straight away to your fuel tank, it will most likely to cause more trouble than good. That's precisely why it should have a separate tank and the dosing should be automated. If this is added into the fuel tank by someone who has no knowledge of AdBlue, the outcome would be bad for the engine.

In both of the cases above, we can offer the same fuel system draining, flushing and refilling service as we do if you put the incorrect fuel in your car. Regardless of what caused you to get stranded, we can assist you to get back on the road. Furthermore, we can replace the fuel filters destroyed by water.

Other Services

Other than wrong fuel in a vehicle, we also offer other services related to it. You should also be aware of them. For instance, we do help our clients get rid of contaminated fuel. This is because your average mechanic is not allowed to do it nowadays because it can easily degrade the environment and even contaminate the local water supply.

This is a unique service that we provide to business and private clients. All you should do is grant us access, and it won’t matter if it is in a fixed storage tank, mobile storage tank or any other container, we will drain it.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded.

A customer with her little ones in her diesel Eastling had filled her vehicle with £42 of petrol at the BP service station. She called us weeping and extremely worried as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel previously and didn't know what might happen to her vehicle . We told her that everything would be alright and that she would be on the road soon. When we arrived she was still distressed but as our technician began work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she noticed that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I simply can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Particularly with the youngsters in the back."
